Long awaited tournament is about to begin

One of the most thrilling, entertaining and full of stars (in one place) competition FINALLY starts in less than 45 minutes time - the Copa America Centenario. All football lovers eagerly awaits this event which had some kind of a preview of what to expect from the finals, this January with the two play-off games. Now that wait is eventually over as over the next three weeks we are going to see exciting 32 matches. For the first time, the forty-fifth edition combine teams from two confederations: CONCACAF and CONMEBOL. And the time of that combination is perfect - as it will be teams from these two regions opening its first game.

- Early in the morning in Europe, United States of America plays with Colombia. Playing on its home soil USA will surely have the crowd behind them for the first three points. In the build up to the event the team won all the games and are entering very confident on the opener. Despite being a host nation, USA is considering one of the favorites to lift the trophy. On the other hand, Colombia's strength is relying mostly on its attack as they have plenty of experience players and team, which can go far at the event. To prove that they really 'mean business' Colombian spirits need to shine from the start and right through the finish. Colombia will not be distracted from USA's 12 player (the fanatical crowd) behind them as they will take the 'away' victory. Many are giving predictions that this will end up in a draw but we think that Los Cafeteros are poised to give good impression right from the start.
